The risk
The product poses a risk of injuries because the accelerator pedal may stick during vehicle operation. This could cause the vehicle to react differently than the driver anticipated and lead to a road accident.
Product: The vehicle is equipped with an Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system that utilizes “smart pedal” technology. It allows a brake pedal input to override the throttle control system. See attached list of VIN numbers.
